Assessee however contended that in the later year the assessee had suffered loss in the process of selling the shares which was declared as capital loss. AO in the assessment after scrutiny accepted this declaration of the assessee and therefore the department is acting inconsistently which is not permissible. The issue of the assessee suffering loss in the subsequent year arose after the assessment in the present year was completed. If in the later year the assessee had declared a loss on capital side, we wonder whether going against such a se .....

In so far as the shares which the Assessee had held in excess of one year, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (for short CIT (Appeals) had held in favour of the Assessee and treated the gain as Long Term Capital Gain.

The issue of the assessee suffering loss in the subsequent year arose after the assessment in the present year was completed. Quite apart,if in the later year the assessee had declared a loss on capital side, we wonder whether going against such a self declaration of the assesee, the Assessing Officer had to foist upon the assessee the conclusion that the loss was a business loss.
